This sounds to me like yet another example of the consequences of moving from 
the reverse FQDN to the 'harbour-*' prefix.

I have ranted about this decision before; it really seemed like a rushed 
"let's ship this" decision which ends up biting you in your behind on so many 
unforeseen areas. People are talking about banning apps with 'harbour-*' 
prefix, and the original issue that it's a "first to the mill" approach.
